Turkey Trot


Peter and Mr. Garner!  Both first places finishers.
Peter's Cub Scout master invited him to join him in the 5K Turkey trot being held at Mayo Lake. He usually runs with one of his grandchildren but none of them were able to join him so he invited Peter. Although Peter runs in soccer and he runs for play, he has never intentionally ran 3 miles. Philip was quite sure that he could handle the race and so we thought the Turkey Trot would be perfect for him. We spent about 3 hours hiking and "mountain" climbing Friday morning and then Peter played in a soccer game late that evening. The team only had enough players for them to play with no substitutes. Even with all that exercise the day before, Peter pulled out a first place finish in the 14 and under division.
Starting line!
This is about 2 miles into the race.

I'm finished....33 minutes

 
Nathan was pretty impressed by his big brother.  I had forgotten Peter's race # and Philip brought when he arrived.
